I can't stand the rain

We didn't move to France for this!

It continued to rain all night, and until after lunch. Happily though, the river stayed away from the house, and the mini-flood inside is all dry now with no obvious ill effects.

The rain kept us inside most of the day, so the kids had some topical learning (the Water Cycle). Also, since they met some French children at the weekend, who turned out not to be scary or dangerous at all, they are happier about being here and keen to learn French - so we did some of that too. ("But why do words have to have a gender?" I have no idea. And now I'm trying to teach them, I have a crisis of confidence on the gender of pretty much every noun and have to look them all up!)

More househunting, on-line, and a big warming rabbit stew.

There are some backblips, if you're not totally tired of them from me:
Saturday (groan, party night)
Sunday (groan, not again)
Monday: web
